What customers say
10/10 recommend for Contax Zeiss lenses. Reasonable prices, quick turnaround, really happy with the repair. My 35mm 1.4 was experiencing bad chromatic aberration and focus issues (barrel was stuck). They took it in, inspected it, and repaired it within 3 weeks.
James and the team are fantastic! They fixed my very sentimental Canon AE-1 with a quick turnaround and back up to perfect use. The service was professional and kind, the prices reasonable ($5 dollar evaluation fee and full, transparent quote shared before going ahead with repairs) and the team quickly responded to…
I love this place. A few years ago they re-toothed a contax T3 that wasn’t catching the film anymore. It’s worked perfectly since. The experience was excellent in terms of communication and getting my camera shopped back to me after the repair.
I have used Nippon twice now for my Hasselblad. They did a check up and cleaning on it and CLA for my film back. It took about a week and my camera came back looking new and refreshed. Staff were friendly. The only thing is it can be pricey. Will continue using them in the future.
